Morley's Journey to Oz and Back
My latest publication is "Morley's Journey to Oz and back", available for download on Amazon - only 99p
This is a story of a working class family from
Nottingham, who went to Australia on the £10 assisted passage scheme. It takes them through their adventures on board ship
with it breaking down in the Atlantic; how they coped in a new country and
travelled from the bottom to the top of Australia in search of a completely
different lifestyle. After finally finding a new life in the tropics, they
survived one of the worst cyclones that devastated the town of Townsville on
Christmas Eve 1971; and then the return journey back to England. This is their incredible story.
In Calverton -
The night before we set sail for Australia
The Fairsky - our ship and home for six long weeks. At times we thought we would never reach our destination.
The book tells of our many adventures, both happy and sad, whilst we were Down Under
Our home utterly devastated by Cyclone Althea on Christmas Eve 1971.

This journey all of those years ago, is what has given me the urge to continue travelling and to see and experience the world. Please see my other travel stories - hopefully there will be many more to follow.

They should both be made into films, they are such unbelievable stories.
